Description:
The United States formed a strong government when it became a country more than 200 years ago. The forefathers created a system of checks and balances to ensure our government would function with no one branch operating in disregard for the other two. In this lesson students will determine the strongest shape and then will build a model to symbolize and remember our strong system of government.
